Ripple Glass Named ‘End Market of the Year’ by Nebraska Recycling Council

The organization is committed to the highest ethical standards that support the recovery of Nebraska’s resources.

Ripple Glass in Nebraska

This award was received specifically for Ripple Glass’ expanded partnership with the City of Omaha and Keep Omaha Beautiful (KOB). Over the past 5 years, Omaha has recycled over 6,500 tons of glass through their existing drop-off locations. In 2017, Ripple Glass, the City and KOB joined together to add an additional 3 drop-off locations for glass in under served areas. These containers were partially funded through grant money from the Nebraska State Recycling Association. These new drop-sites will add convenience for residents and divert even more glass from local landfills each year.

Ripple Glass also works with other communities in the South and West portions of Nebraska to recycle the glass from their community recycling programs.
